Phoebe Waller-Bridge hired for James Bond - so who said it, Fleabag or Bond?

One may be a lonely guinea pig café owner who likes her gin in tins, the other the secret service’s most prized agent who takes his spirits shaken not stirred — but Fleabag and James Bond have a lot in common.

They’re both independent, emotionally damaged and have a propensity to fall in love with unobtainable people.

Now Fleabag creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge is on her majesty’s service — she is to work on the script of the next James Bond film, known as Bond 25. Daniel Craig, who plays 007, asked for her input.

He thinks Bond needs Waller-Bridge’s wit. Could this be the moment the womanising Bond becomes a feminist? And can we expect a Bond who does more looks to camera?

First, your mission is to identify where these quotes are from — Fleabag or Bond?

Bond 25 is slated for UK cinema release in April 2020
